Sun, 12 May 2013 12:26:56 +0000drs177689@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Staff have recently reported witnessing TV programmes being produced in the BBC’s new central London studios.<br />
“We thought all that nonsense had finished when Television Centre was closed at the end of March” one insider is quoted as saying.<br />
The nasty business of actually making programmes had thought to have been moved to the extremities of the UK, with Salford used to placate those with a ‘northern accent’.<br />
BBC press spokesman, Sebastian Russell, promised to look into the allegations.<br />
“We will look into any such allegation. That sort of thing hasn’t happened for a long time. We are moving forward now, building shiny new headquarters in London and around the UK, setting up advisory boards and giving employment to think-tanks and consultancy companies”.<br />
An official memo has warned staff not to leave scripts or ‘programme ideas’ lying around and to clear desks when leaving the office.<br />
“We don’t need that sort of thing ‘polluting’ the clean lines of our desks in a new and invigorated BBC”, newly appointed BBC Director General, James Murdoch, explained.
